new church

Last Sunday I went to a new church.

(Coincidentally, is it cheating to go to a different church? I thought about it and decided that we are both groups of Jesus people, but we focus on different stuff, so it's ok.)

Anyways, this is an assembly of God church, a Pentecostal church. I was raised a Baptist, so this is a little different.

I loved it! Worship was open and spontaneous, and it felt real. They where talking about worship - its actions and purpose - as shown in the Bible! Just like I've been thinking and wondering about. So I think it was really Jesus' plan for me this Sunday. But I'm not sure about all the rest of the Sundays - I don't know how much of this church's message I believe.

They believe in speaking in tongues, healing, etc. Part of me just wants to dismiss some of that, but I think its just because it isn't something I was taught. I don't really know . . . and I know I need to get talking to my buddy Jesus and figure out what He thinks about it.

So, that's where I'm at. Trying to learn from God in his word and from His mouth. Trying to differentiate between what He is telling me and what I've just absorbed from those around me. I think this might take a while, and I think it will be an adventure.
